Acetylene, C2?H2?, can be converted to ethane, C2?H6?, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is The equilibrium constant of a system, K, can be related to C2?H2?(g)+2H2?(g)?C2?H6?(g) the standard free energy change, ?G?, using the following Given the following data at standard conditions (all pressures equal to 1atm and the common reference temperature 298K ), what is the value of equation: Kp? for this reaction? ?G?=?RTlnK where T is a specified temperature in kelvins (usually 298K ) and R is equal to 8.314J/(K?mol). Under conditions other than standard state, the following equation applies: ?G=?G?+RTlnQ In this equation, Q is the reaction quotient and is defined the Express your answer using two significant figures. same manner as K except that the concentrations or pressures used are not necessarily the equilibrium values.
We know that, ?G0= -RTlnK ..........(1)Here the free energies of all reactants and products are given.The total free energhttps://media.cheggcdn.com/media/489/48907419-0654-48d7-9b95-4ce60b816b57/phplANfjJy of the reactants = 1*209.2+4*0 = 209.2 kJThe total free energy of the products = 1*(-32.89) = -32.89 kJ
